"The Rise of the Dead" stands out in the doomsday circuit of Tomato novels with its solid details, three-dimensional group portraits and progressive suspense. It is not only a zombie survival guide, but also a prism that reflects human nature, allowing readers to resonate with the meaning of "alive" while their adrenaline is soaring.
[Rolls eyes] After reading the book and reading many reviews from book friends, I can only say that the current score of 7.5 Is more in line with the rating of this book. First, the writing style of ancient apocalyptic novels, and even the name of the male protagonist Xiaoqiang has the style of "apocalyptic cockroach". However, just like Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, the iron horse will eventually become outdated, the current Internet writing has returned to the past, which can only be said to be unflattering; second, the first 6 chapters are not interesting, not exciting, only recalling the ex-girlfriend again and again, and the taste is too strong to attract new readers; third, why do most apocalyptic novels write "Both parents are dead?" Because it is difficult to deal with and unnecessary. The book continues to write about "honest parents", so one of the themes of the end of the world has become the history of the male protagonist's struggle for his parents, relatives and friends? (My parents are all here, and the apocalypse is so cruel. You can't ignore the relatives and friends of the older generation, right? Looking at the older generation, if your parents are here, it's not too much to write grandparents? The second uncle and the third uncle have no better feelings?) So, it really doesn't take this long to have diarrhea. What's more, in Chapter 6, an orphanage appears. How many children can you feed with your tens of thousands of yuan in supplies? A bit redundant and unflattering. According to the male protagonist's intention at the time, after immediately reporting the news to his parents (a war broke out), he began to rush home to share the difficulties (another ancient writing method). In fact, objectively speaking, no matter what level the book friends are, they have not penetrated into the book, and the consciousness of being a filial son with the male protagonist cannot be substituted. Finally, the author wrote the book carefully, which is worthy of recognition, but since he is writing a post-apocalyptic novel, he must be aware of the exciting, poisonous, and explosive aspects of the subject matter, otherwise, he can only do things to please himself.
I found an apocalyptic novel during a book shortage. I reviewed and recommended it after reading more than 100 chapters. The author's writing style is good, the subject matter is novel, and the story is smoothly connected. It is not a mindless article. The setting of the story is very good. I feel that the author is very careful. Although the work is seriously underestimated, it has been continuously updated. I give a big thumbs up to the author and recommend it to book friends who are in a book shortage. It is really worth reading. I have read more than 200 chapters. I think it is really good. There are not many bad points. I feel that the score given by Tomato is low. For a novice writer, it is really a very good novel, and more than 2 million is already very fat. Now it has become a novel that I must listen to before going to bed.
This subject matter can only be said to be original. There are too many details. I have read many rebirth novels. Compare this zombie novel. Whether it is the process of the birth of zombies or the beginning of the Taoist system, there is a beginning and an end. It seems that there are many places that look like poisonous spots, but in the end, it still makes sense. The beginning is about the beginning of the end of the world. After the emergence of artificial intelligence, it turns into a certain race. Starting a genocide is really a bit like the same thing. There was also someone at the top of the country who suddenly kept in contact, and then began to question the authenticity of his identity. It feels like the left and right brains are fighting each other, but it does happen in reality. Although the fig incident is a bit ridiculous, you have to say that it is really possible. Looking at this book as a whole, the author is still very good and has been able to persist for such a long time. I have encountered writing styles similar to the author's before, but I often only persisted. It was finished in 200 or 500 chapters. The author has been able to carry it to more than 1,000 chapters, which is still very powerful. Until now, he has not revealed the specific direction of the country's top leaders. This foreshadowing is really powerful to be honest.
The subject matter is novel and the content is solid. I haven't read this kind of orthodox novel in a long time. Nowadays, most of the plots are fast-paced. The plots are fun within 20 chapters, which can be called a Russian matryoshka doll. The reason for the low ratings is that many people can't bring themselves to read it seriously, which illustrates the sadness of reading. The novels of 10 years ago were so large in quantity that I could read a good book for almost half a month. Compared with the ones recommended now, I can only say haha (I don't rule out that there are good fast-paced books, don't criticize me if you read the comments, you are right [smile]). The author is lucky enough to be able to write more than 1,000 chapters. He works hard, keep it up [laughing evilly] [laughing evilly]
In the first 50 chapters or so of this book, the traditional apocalyptic writing method and the plot treatment of supporting characters caused all kinds of awkwardness, which always felt strange. If you trade guns for resources, the supporting characters can't tell the difference between the big and the big. There is a transition period around the last 20 chapters, during which each chapter has a strong sense of escape. For example, the plot is a little too fast, making it seem like you have watched it but not watched it, and you can't keep up with the rhythm. But after Chapter 80, the plot began to become clearer, and the branches of the main line were clear and there were no obvious poisonous points. However, the plot transitions in some chapters are relatively fast, and if other authors can get the job done, they can do it. In addition, the author's article contains personal emotions, so please read with caution. Summary This article is thoughtful and logical, at least the plot can give explanations and reasons, in a novel about the survival of an individual group in the apocalypse. It wouldn't be a survival novel without system and space. This novel is a breath of fresh air. At least have a minimum Tomato score of 8.5 Or above. At the beginning, I ordered the small fairy grass and Fei Lu's high-quality products. The above is all just nonsense. There are 1,000 Hamlets among 1,000 people. I have my thoughts, you have yours, please don't reply to comments. If you want to complain, just reply with reasonable evidence. I don't play with the mentally retarded. I enjoyed reading this book.
It is a good article in the apocalyptic literature. The analysis of human nature is clear and profound. The description of the apocalyptic plot is relatively objective. It is more down-to-earth than most of the fanciful apocalyptic literature. However, why can't I see the illustration of the talisman? There is nothing the author has to say when I click on it?
The writing is good, war and human nature are portrayed in detail, but there should be less social commentary. As a bookworm, I am not here to receive re-education. Everyone knows that everyone has their own thoughts and understands the author's thoughts, but what's the use? What can Sheng Dou Xiaomin change? A novel, it can only be a novel. Speed up the progress of the plot, don't be a eunuch, and finish the show as soon as possible!
After reading more than 500 chapters, there are basically no poisonous points and the logic is quite clear. According to the current thinking, it should be quite interesting up to 700 chapters. I hope the author will pay attention not to repeat the routine too much in the subsequent plots. This is a problem that is prone to occur in many Tomato novels. On the other hand, the confrontation between mechanical ascension and ancient immortal cultivators is difficult to write, and the combat power will collapse if you are not careful. Maybe you can consider slowing down the increase in combat power and focusing more on the three-party confrontation.
I have to say that this post-apocalyptic article is a treasure unearthed recently! There are no overflowing systems and rebirth routines, and the subject matter and connotation reveal a sense of solid reality. It can be called an apocalyptic survival guide with a high probability of survival. Compared with the same cool articles, this kind of hardcore survival that is close to life is more addictive!
